Jacksonville has shown in the first two weeks that it's going to provide stiff competition for worst team in the league. When you're tanking for Clowney, you need to pull out all the stops.

That's a big "if" and since this is Cleveland I totally expect them to butcher their draft picks.

I read an interview with Mike Holmgren where he said that he offered his "entire draft" to Indy for the right to draft Andrew Luck, but was turned down. But the second best player in that draft was Trent Richardson - and now Indy's got them both

When the Browns do something other than draft a 28 year old QB in the 1st round, I'll believe their front office has a brain .Until then, I assume they are useless and incompetent, personnel changes notwithstanding.
